I'm 99% positive the release date was listed as sometime in February just a week or two ago. Don't know if this actually means anything.

dat launch window :lol

SirIgbyCeaser · Jul 29, 2013

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo(chances are I won't own a ps4 before that anyway)

codhand · Jul 29, 2013

dang, really looking forward to this

TheLegendOfMart · Jul 29, 2013

Pfffffffffffff.

Drive Club and Infamous were the only reasons I was getting PS4 early, my birthday is in April so might just wait and buy one then if this is the case.

TheBioLover · Jul 29, 2013

That's not Q1.

They said Q1 2014, what's the problem ? Plus no official date has been given yet.

SirIgbyCeaser · Jul 29, 2013

Probably waiting for the ram upgrade to make it even better ;0

doniewhalberg · Jul 29, 2013

Isn't April 1st one of those database placeholder dates until you get a real release date? The same way the PS4 isn't really coming out Dec. 31st. That would be disappointing if it is so far away, but I suspect that's a placeholder.

Liamario · Jul 29, 2013

There was never a launch date given and if the game is 'delayed' to April (which looks like a placeholder tbh), then it's purely to give the game more development time.

rvy · Jul 29, 2013

I must be the only guy that enjoys it when games get delayed. In a perfect world, every game would get delayed so that shit like AC III doesn't see the light of day.

And March 31 is Q3, right?

By a day.

Clearly this is a placeholder date you guys.

Black Republican · Jul 29, 2013

The day i buy a PS4 then, whenever Infamous drops, my cash drops.

SmokedMeat · Jul 29, 2013

Maybe Sony's going by Nintendo's launch window? We should see Infamous August 2014.

Hindle · Jul 29, 2013

I expect the game in May/June personally.

You could be right, I hope you are.

On June 17th the game had a placeholder date of December 31st, 2013.

Yes it is.

Placeholder for Q2 release.

On June 17th the game had a placeholder date of December 31st, 2013.

As an example, a quick check on the site shows Killzone & Driveclub have a release date of 31st Dec. Those will not come out on that day. They simply don't have a firm date beyond holiday. Infamous is said to be February, but it has no official date beyond launch window/Q1. Thus database says 1st April til a firm date.

EDIT: Joystiq stated that the official press release for SS stated

Infamous: Second Son won't be available on launch day, but rather prior to March 31, 2014 in the first quarter of next year.

Click

Please, please guys. Before filing in after reaidng only the topic headline, and stating stuff like "that's exactly what I expected" and so on, please engage the brain: Sony's exact official stance is "any time before march31st" ie. the Q1 cut off, and gamestop have stuck down April 1st in their database. Please consider that. The amount of serious replies already confounds me.

Canis lupus · Jul 29, 2013

March/april is when I expected it, more than enough games to keep me busy until then!

Byronic Hero · Jul 29, 2013

That's fine. That gives me enough time to save up for a PS4, since I never planned to get one at launch.

Sony copying Nintendo as usual.

Forget withered technology, it's all about withered sales.

Mo_Hawk_007 · Jul 29, 2013

Hopefully 60 fps or like God of War 3 open frame rate.

Kyoufu · Jul 29, 2013

Er, placeholder date.

amr · Jul 29, 2013

Sony said Q1, and Q1 = January 1st to March 31st.

Placeholder date and nothing else. It means it will release by April 1st, just as "2013" games get 12/31/13 placeholder dates because they will be out by then.

Acheteedo · Jul 29, 2013

Make it as good as it can be, rushing open world games is a bad thing, see Crackdown 2.

Did Sony ever claim it was a 'launch' window release?!

I-hate-u · Jul 29, 2013

What is the months range of a launch window?

WrenchNinja · Jul 29, 2013

I-hate-u said:

Going by how these companies keep moving the window and have been acting lately, a year.

mocolostrocolos · Jul 29, 2013

Placeholder, etc.

Smiles and Cries · Jul 29, 2013

you guys had to expect at least one game to slip

I don't want good games rushed away

Tobor · Jul 29, 2013

Between the launch exclusives and third party games there is more than enough to get us through to Spring. No worries.

Triggerhappytel · Jul 29, 2013

I-hate-u said:

Realistically I'd say three months is a realistic launch window. Beyond that and I think they're really stretching the term.

Markitron · Jul 29, 2013

The first 2 came out in June, so I was always just expecting this to come out in June 2014 anyway. My most anticipated PS4 game right now

Sapphire Dreams · Jul 29, 2013

If this is true and comes at the expense of the game being more polished, then I am okay with it.

fluffydelusions · Jul 29, 2013

day 1 whenever it comes out.

Acquiescence · Jul 29, 2013

No no no, please say it ain't so. I wanted/expected it to drop February.

There is a lot to keep me occupied until then though.

BigDug13 · Jul 29, 2013

April 1st is the first day of the first quarter in the Japanese Fiscal Year, right? Maybe that's what they meant by Q1...
